Walter thinks the abduction of a young music prodigy is linked back to his old bunkmate at St. Claire's Hospital, a mathematician who was driven insane after a similar abduction. Olivia wants Walter to return to the mental institution much to Peter's outcry. Walter is determined to help, which ends up having chilling ramifications.

Episode Quotes
 
Walter: They hoped to broadcast the flashing lights during commercials so that the viewers would have no choice but to buy their products. Unfortunately, it merely caused nausea which was unfortunate because apparently, people don’t like to shop when they feel like they’re going to throw up.
 
Olivia: What is it, Walter? Can we talk to him?
Walter: I guess that would depend on whether he has succeeded in killing himself or not.
 
Walter: And you look different too, somehow. That smile. Have they altered your medication? Wouldn’t surprise me. These medieval quacks are more proficient at phrenology than psychopharmacology.
Dashiell: I miss your jokes, Walter.
 
Peter: After some of the things I’ve seen in the last three months, Walter strikes me as being one of the sanest people I know.
 
Joanne: Seems crazy that some numbers can make a machine like this work.
Mitchell: Look around your house, your office, your kitchen--numbers make everything work.
